The conclusive day of the Naples Shipping Week saw the participation of Fabrizio Monticelli CEO of ForMare – National Shipping Hub in the panel “Human Factors Summit” during which he presented the European Project SkillSea – Future Proof Skills for the Maritime Sector. The participation to the Naples Shipping Week has represented a valuable opportunity for ForMare to present the project and its future steps.

In fact, during the Shipping Week, a set of conferences and meetings open to the entire international shipping community was hosted in Naples. Prestigious speakers and stakeholders from the industry, scientific and academic world intervened and/or participated to the panels. Furthermore, Kitack Lim, Secretary General of the IMO-International Maritime Organization took part as special guest during the NSW’s Opening Day. This has represented, indeed, a relevant opportunity for the stakeholder engagement activities and mostly to raise awareness on the relevance of the project.

In particular, the Panel “Human Factors Summit” was focused on the importance of Blue Economy’s skills for the competitiveness of the sector, and it was attended by several stakeholders, VET providers and experts of the maritime sector operating at the National, European and International Level.
